Immorrel: *cautiously walking up to Louise* So you ready for the Q&A session, Louise?
Louise: Of course, but why are you acting so strangely.
Immorrel: *sighing with relief* For no reason at all, it would appear.
Louise: What did you do?
Immorrel: Absolutely nothing you should be worried about. I think I'll go check with the announcers and get this started. *walks away quickly before Louise can decide what to do*
*Out at the announcer's table*
Sousuke: It is too bad that Ms. Wurpess and SGM Mao had to forfeit. I would think that the SGM would be prepared for anything.
Chad: Well you know computers are temperamental things at the best of times, though you are right. It will be a shame not to see what interesting things we would learn about Mao.
Chuck: *with a far off look in his eyes* Maybe we should go talk with Kurtz, he seemed to be the man with the 411 on the SGM.
Sousuke: I would advise against that. Kurtz is a highly trained to stand the brutality that soldiers are sometimes required to face, and so can deal with the consequences of his exploration of the SGM's past. I don't think you gentlemen would survive the SGM if she found out you had been talking with Kurtz about her.
Chad: *looking at Chuck* You think it'd be worth it?
Chuck: *looking back* Discretion is the greater part of valor, I say we wait for when she isn't in the area and try our luck then.
Chad: Sounds like a plan.
Immorrel: *walking up at the end of the conversation* It's your funeral guys. I'm still not sure how Kurtz survives the things that the SGM does to him. But on that note, Sousuke could you go check on Wurpess?
Sousuke: Why?
Immorrel: I think Chad and Chuck can handle asking the questions for Louise, and I think Wurpess could use some cheering up.
Sousuke: Affirmative. I leave the rest to you two.
C&C:

*Sousuke walks off in the direction of SGM Mao and Wurpess' room*
Immorrel: *talking quietly to C&C* Ok guys, time for the Q&A. Think you can handle this?
Chad: As long as you keep running interference the way you have, I think we can survive this

Chuck: Especially if you've got some more stuff that we'll usually get you exploded.
Immorrel: No worries, I'll see if I can't exceed your expectations. If you'd be so kind, let's get this started.
Chad: I got it *turns to the microphone* Since Immorrel is here, it would appear that it's now Louise's turn to join us for the Q&A portion of our contest, so if you'd come on out Louise.
Louise: *walking out for behind the curtain* I'm here.
Chad: Well why don't we get to the first question then. What is your relationship with Saito Hiraga?
Louise: *blushing furiously* Wha-Wha-What kind of question is this?
Chuck: It's the question we asked, of course?
Louise: *glaring at Chuck* Saito is my familiar and nothing else.
Immorrel: Are you sure you are being completely honest Louise, because this doesn't look quite like that too me.
Louise: What do you mean. Familiars serve their masters, and that is what he is doing.
Immorrel: If that's the case then what's going on here?
Louise: How is a servant supposed to serve his master if he is always getting distracted?
Immorrel: You sure you aren't jealous?
Louise: I am a noble, and am above such petty things as jealousy.
Chad: *whispering to Chuck* You see how he slipped that first pic in without her even paying attention to what she was wearing?
Chuck: *whispering as well* I guess spending the last two years with her, he's learned how to channel her attention where he wants it.
Chad: A reasonable explanation, but I think it's time we move this along *speaking in a regular voice* I think Louise has answered the question properly so let's move on to the next one. Chuck?
Chuck: Fair enough. So Louise, what is your relationship to Queen Henrietta?
Louise: *in a very calm voice* Where did this come from?
Immorrel: *smiling to himself* Actually Henrietta gave me this one. She thought it might be useful. She was disappointed when you didn't win last year and wanted to help.
Louise: *blushing* She did?
Immorrel: Yep, and gave me a few others as well.
Louise: *blushing even more* She actually gave you all of these?
Immorrel: Like I told you, she wanted to help you win.
Chuck: Sorry to interrupt, but you still need to answer the question.
Louise: Henrietta-sama is my queen first and foremost, but we also were childhood friends so the line in our relationship is blurred by this.
Chad: Blurred? That looks like a lingerie par... *Chuck throws a hand over Chads mouth*
Chuck: *whispering* Immorrel's got her distracted, don't bring the hammer down on us.
Chad: *nods* I guess that answers the question then.
